7:35 am: Rush on Airbnb for summer reservations

Airbnb notes a jump on its platform of searches of the French, encouraged by the government to book their holidays in the country in July and August, but that does not yet translate into firm reservations. From April 15 to May 15, French users carried out 21.2 million searches for tourist rentals and “85% of the latest searches relate to places to stay in France,” said in an Airbnb press release.

Over the past 10 days, more than a third (35%) of searches have focused on “destinations located less than 80 km from home”, local searches “more than three times higher than in the same period last year”, notes the platform.

However, this research is not yet translated into reservations, said a spokesperson, the French expecting in particular to find out at the end of May, the departments classified as “green” – the risk of contagion being supposed to be lower there – where cafes, bars and restaurants will reopen on June 2. Especially since at the moment, “travelers will not be reimbursed if they have to cancel a reservation made after March 14 due to the Covid-19,” the site said.
